help chasing a bike

Hey guys i need help choosing between
6ku Odyssey: https://www.6ku.com/collections/odys...peed-city-bike
and
State City bike: The Elliston : City Bikes & Dutch Bicycles | State Bicycle Co.

I am not sure If 6ku is a good brand? I like that it has 8 speeds, also I am not sure If state bikes are more durable, they are both almost the same price but I am not sure which on is better as a whole?

Thanks

Bikes: I can count 'em on one hand

I would go for the 6KU Odyssey: 8 speed and hand brakes for less than the State Elliston, plus better choice of colors.

Bikes: 3 Chinese Gas Pipe Nerdcycles and 2 Chicago Electroforged Boat Anchors

Both bikes have frames made from low grade steel.

They are very differently equipped. What kind of bike do you want?

The State bike is almost a beach cruiser. It's a single speed with only a coaster brake. Nice and simple. Low maintenance.

The other bike with gears will be better for hills and wind or carrying a load.

Depends if you want gears or not. The State Bicycle is pretty awesome. The Wife has one and loves it. It's great for riding up the pool, or taking it to the beach to ride around. Wouldn't recommend it for lots of hills, though. It is heavy, but all in all it's a very good bike with very little maintenance required. Looks like you can get that bike as a 3 speed as well. State also has some great sales right now.
